Lunchtime Basketball Association

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

More than likely complete nonsense about a "competition" developed by school children during their lunch break. At the least, no evidence of notability, citing independent reliable sources, has been provided Mattinbgn\talk 01:46, 16 October 2008 (UTC) Note: This is a contested PROD. Reasons for disputing the PROD were given at Talk:Lunchtime Basketball Association. I don't find them convincing. -- Mattinbgn\talk 01:48, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Delete -- per Wikipedia is not for things made up one day - Longhair\talk 01:50, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete I think Longhair nailed it. Made up one day, just not notable right now.  P HARMBOY  ( TALK ) 01:54, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

 * What type of source is Blackwonder.com?-- Free way  8  02:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure where you're seeing that source listed? I only see two, being basketballsa.com.au and blackwoodrec.com.au, both of which make no mention whatsoever of this so called "Association". -- Longhair\talk 03:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete - hoax. E.g. the Crushers have only one player on their team. Checking out some of the names mentioned in the article on google shows that they are students at Scotch College. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:27, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Longhair. Clearly something made up in school one day.  Lankiveil (speak to me) 10:15, 16 October 2008 (UTC).
 * Delete. You can't ask me to travel to Australia just to see that the league exists. Such a request suggests that no valid references can be found, and therefore the league is not notable. --  Blanchardb - Me•MyEars•MyMouth - timed 10:21, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Is there anyone else who is willing to travel to Australia to see if the league exists?  If so, please send me a postcard.  Mandsford (talk) 14:09, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Do not delete- This is clearly a real league I can vouch for its validity as I often bring my young sons out to watch the games and they love it and I think this page will help make other people aware of the league and possibly help the league to grow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.6.143.85 (talk) 23:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete one of the most obvious deletes I've ever seen. Michellecrisp (talk) 02:31, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete but will reconsider if someone can find two unrelated articles in the Advertiser about the league Gnangarra 02:14, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete for non-notability--Paul McDonald (talk) 16:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
